A vibration tumbler cleans them up nicely.

Thank you

Worst tracks to put together the hellcats haha! Bend and snap so easy! The amount of flash left on them waw each link needed sanded and drilled! I done each bag separately but absolutely not mirrored there identical to me! The eyelets bent and snapped on some mine very brittle my set were! The hellcat kits really need them too!

I know this video is about using burnishing fluid but Is burnishing the tracks necessary if I choose to just paint them? Maybe the better question is why choose burnishing over paint?

[@darrylmasters5032]

can you bottle up used fluid for future use?

[@martinfisher495]

I'm thinking of linking these tracks using brass pins, instead of the wire provided. Do you know how the burnishing liquid would react to the brass

[@Simonize41]

What's best to do with the fluid when finished? I can't imagine that flushing it down the loo would be a good idea. :-/

[@lazaglider]

A lovely demo, Paul. Who makes the Hellcat? Not my normal fare, but it looks a fantastic kit.

[@Paul-ProscaleModels]

Its the academy kit but the afv club one is the better kit www.intscalemodeller.com/viewtopic.php?f=361&t=11601

[@mreric410]

Is the white metal pewter?

[@andrewjerome2157]

Great video? Out of curiosity, is that afv club's or academy's hellcat?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Thanks and its academys, not a bad kit actually - Pail

[@RCUKScaleModels]

hey Paul I like your videos on tutorials just once more question how many times can I use the burnishing fluid is it a one-time use?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Ideally yes. You may get a bit of a reaction 2nd time round but it is meant as one time use

[@RCUKScaleModels]

@@InternationalScaleModeller Thanks

[@Hugo-pj4bm]

can you sand the metal down so the metallic look shines trough?

[@ROLKChaos]

Yes sir you can sand it down ;)

[@Filmman586]

Paul, what make of pin vise do you have?

[@Paul-ProscaleModels]

Its the tamiya one Lou

[@steveaustin9386]

Considering how much those tracks cost and the time it takes to assemble them would you say they are worth it?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Steve Austin hi Steve, yes I think they are worth the cost, they look great as close as you will get to the real thing. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@dermelonensaft3103]

just startet to build the Tiger II/ Jagdtiger Tracks... its fun but it takes a long time to build :D

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Yes just take you time and you will be fine - Paul

[@robertgraham1511]

How many times can you use the premixed fluid?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Once really, you can try again but it wont work as well

[@crushingvanessa3277]

Can you save and reuse the liquid?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

You can but it won't work anywhere near as good second time round

[@isaaccook]

Can this product be used more than once, or is it a 1 time thing?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

+thecookiam Hi, it's designed for a one time use, but many people have used it twice, it just takes a little longer to have an effect :)

[@isaaccook]

+International Scale Modeller thank you!!!

[@DNModels]

Is that the product similar to TI Hobbies?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

I've never heard of TI hobbies I'm afraid...

[@DNModels]

Oh OK. I might be mistaking. But I will try your product very soon so thats the good news!

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Mitko Nikitov Awesome! You won't be sorry that's for sure :)
